Customer Rating:
Summary: Excellent introduction for my gifted 5 and 6 year old kids
Comment: My young children began life with fierce curiosity. That fire still burns hot and their eagerness for knowledge and hard facts makes explaining skepticism easier. This book is remarkable how it grabbed my kids without it being mired in detail about a complex subject. Our family are Secular Humanists raising the kids on our own without the support of community or church so books like this one are a tremendous help. All around us kids are learning about "god" and "heaven" and teaching my kids seemingly against the grain goes easier when they can pick up this book to read again and again. It has sparked many a conversation that helps them see respect for others is vital but the most important thing is to hold on to what you believe and stand firm with it. I'd recommend getting this book for kids who are able to grasp the idea of needing hard facts and proof before blindly believing anything. It is simple in it's terms and illustrations. It is a helpful tool for parents to help their young beginner skeptics find their way along with you.

Summary: price point outrageous for print quality
Comment: I gave this book a 3 star because while a worthy topic for my kid's library - the pricepoint for the quality, brevity and poor illustrations in this book and in maybe right, maybe wrong is absolutely outrageous. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the print and illustrations and the skinny book for the price I had paid.

Summary: My Kids Love it!
Comment: My kids and I set down immediately and I read the book to them (5 and 10). They love the easily remembered phrase "Maybe Yes, Maybe No" and use it (on me) when I challenge them with questions about the world. The phrase helps them to think through alternative answers to questions...it makes them think. Kids will challenge their own, and others, assumptions about the way things work. A great book for kids!
Customer Rating:
Summary: Definitely yes!
Comment: This is a great introduction to teaching kids to think for themselves, rather than just going along with the herd. I very much hope that the lessson that one needs to think and decide for oneself sinks in before any questions arise regarding the use of cigarettes, alcohol and illegal drugs, etc...
Customer Rating:
Summary: Kids need to be encouraged to develop critical thinking skills
Comment: This is an excellent book that encourages children to ask questions and to be skeptical.
Popular culture and most schools do a terrible disservice to children by discouraging freethought and original thinking. Too many children are led to believe that authority figures are always right about everything.
This easy-to-read and well illustrated book (80 pages) is just right for ages 6-12.
I suggest that those who care about children consider buying a few copies and dontating them to local schools.
--Guy P. Harrison, author of 50 Reasons People Give for Believing in a God
